0:00.0 | Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Graham Hancock. He's a journalist and an author known for his work on ancient civilizations. |
0:09.0 | The Americas hold a profound secret. While human history is often traced back to other parts of the globe |
0:15.5 | Graham believes that evidence points to the Americas being inhabited far |
0:19.2 | earlier than previously believed. So what is the true history of the Americas and how does it |
0:25.4 | reshape our understanding of human civilization? Expect to learn how Graham thinks that the first |
